Serhou Guirassy’s future set to shape Dortmund’s summer transfer plans

Borussia Dortmund are not planning to sign a new centre-forward this summer as long as Serhou Guirassy remains at the club, with the current attacking setup viewed internally as sufficient.

Club officials believe the squad already has enough depth in forward areas, meaning no immediate need to enter the market for a traditional number 9 unless circumstances change.

Internal Confidence in Fábio Silva

A major factor influencing Dortmund’s stance is the internal evaluation of Fábio Silva. The Portuguese striker is highly rated by the club’s decision-makers, who see him as a reliable attacking option moving forward.

This strong confidence in Silva has further reduced the urgency to recruit another striker during the upcoming transfer window.

Asllani Move on Hold

Fisnik Asllani of TSG Hoffenheim has been on Dortmund’s radar for some time and is part of their long-term scouting shortlist.

However, any potential move for the young forward is directly tied to Guirassy’s situation. As things stand, Dortmund will only consider pursuing Asllani if Guirassy departs the club.

Guirassy’s Role Remains Key

For now, Guirassy’s future is the decisive factor shaping Dortmund’s attacking plans. As long as he stays, the club is expected to maintain its current structure without major changes in the striker department.

This makes the coming weeks crucial, with Dortmund’s transfer activity heavily dependent on whether their key forward remains part of the project.
